thanks for your answer but do you know how to roll back to stock? i need to roll back for warrant purpose..

I can't help you, unless there's some way of extracting the firmware from one of my mates phones. It will have to be without rooting it tho.

Gingerbread on Orange

Is the gingerbread update available yet, on Orange? I tried checking on kies a few days ago and it said I have the latest version, but I have froyo 2.2.1
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
In a word, no. Samsung withdrew the Gingerbread updates due to some fault or whatever so the only ones available are the JV1, JVK, JVB and JVA Roms which are floating around at the moment but these are primarily for unlocked devices so I don't know what effect they may have on your phone if its locked to Orange
So when will we get it?

Why don't you ask Orange?
So when will we get it?
Very simple answer
After Samsung release it and Orange customise or sodomize it and Orange upload it to the Kies server .
More complicated answer Ask Samsung .

It will be weeks after the stock unmolested firmware is re-released. Im on orange too and debranded mine because I got bored waiting for Oranges 2.2. It is still sim locked though (hasnt caused any problems)If you decide to try this make sure youre 3 button download/recovery is working though-mine wasnt originally-but is now thanks to the good peeps here.
If you look in the forums you will find a free network unlock solution too.
After flashing all the Gingerbread roms though I find I keep returning to Darky's 9.5 (Froyo based).
If you do decide to de-brand & network unlock you should also consider changing you CSC to XEU too that way kies will check for the official European i9000 rom instead of a network branded version.
You can always re-flash back to a carrier rom should you want to though.

But where would you get one from ?.
That seems to be a problem 99% do not save carrier rom and few are available elsewhere .

Just like me I to hunt around for "t-mobile galaxy s odin" and sure enough google provided me with a link to a t-mobile 2.2.1 rom flashable via odin, failing that you could always use fwspoof to emulate a older carrier from and have kies re-install the carrier update.
Just thought you might have a secret stock .

Orange delayed and delayed 2.2 for the SGS, it was supposed to come out in November last year and ended up being January for the official release. This was months and months after the official unlocked versions came out, so I wouldn't hold your breath on it being a quick release.
That said 2.2.1 seemed to come out relatively quickly compared to 2.2
Fingers crossed they get bored modding all these releases with their own crap and have it as downloads from the market...as it should be.
I may have missed it in the Orange Terms and conditions, but a while a go when I read through them, I couldn't spot anything about modding phones making warranties being void (although I'd double check), so you could always try a custom ROM if you can't wait.

I hooked up my galaxy S to Kies yesterday morning and was offered 2.3.3 from Orange, Installed it and all went well ... until I tried using the 3G instead of wireless, I cant access 3G at all. anyone else having this issue?
I have checked the APN and that is fine.
here's some more detailed info about the firmware:
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9000BVJV2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BVJV7

I did that when I checked them.
I got the Data working by doing a factory reset which was kind of a last resort but oh well.
Roystoned
any chance you can post your PDA, CSC & modem info for me?
Not really. Factory reset is good practice after any upgrade.

get yourself the stock orange rom from your country, to have it in case of warranty
and install a custom one
Just root your phone, make a Nandroid-backup (CWM-backup), save this backup on your PC and then you can flash a custom-ROM.

Don't suppose you could explain how to get hold of a stock rom for a branded phone? I'd like a stock OrangeUK rom with all the bloatware and stuff just in case I need to send it for repair.
thanks in advance
No need for explanation anymore I used checkfusdownloader to download the froyo update for orange uk. The available gingerbread update is fubar from what I've been reading in the web.

Its an unlocked phone from p4u unbranded and I'm on three, but theres no sim in the phone when I've connected. I've not downloaded it yet its still plugged in an showing. I didn't really want to be first trying it because my phone has no problems and I don't want to lose the 5x4 icon setup unless I'm forced too and I don't know whether this will do that to my phone. By the way its never been upgraded yet from its original rom of KE7 KE4 KD1.
Firstly Kies wont remove any of your apps/settings, if you have rooted the phone you will lose this. It sounds like you are being offered the upgrade to 2.3.4 which has been out a while. 2.3.5 is the one we are waiting on which is a different KI4.
Is there anyway I can check for you without going through with the full upgrade, the other day I handled a new galaxy w in p4u and that had 2.3.5 in it I took a photo of it, every write up and comment on that phone says 2.3.3. Lets hope things have moved on, but as I said in op didn't really want to try it first.
See attached
Thank you. I've been reading about the Kl4 in the discussion thread thats not officially out , I don't supposed you would care to comment on whether its worth my upgrading,whats the balance of losses and gains you find in this release as apposed to the one I've got.
It's up to you whether you want to upgrade the fw, if you're on 2.3.3 I would do it, we could new waiting a while for Samsung to release 2.3.5 on kies for unbranded phones.

It seems to me that it is faster than KI3 and with better battery life.
The only difference is that it is official now!
Happy flashing!
The XXKI4 is not the same as the XWKI4. Both have been available in the firmware thread in the dev forum a while now.
Thanks for that. I have flashed and had the fastest kies flash ever. Thanks for the info.

Official uk unbranded 2.3.5?

Is there any reason why vodafone and three have official 2.3.5 on kies but nothing for unbranded phones? Even the original SGS has it. I'm really beginning to regret getting this phone. Don't want to flash a Frankenstein package as would rather have a official release.

The most obvious question arises:
Why?
There's literally no reasonable or logical disadvantage to using one of the 'leaked' ROMs, since they are typically identical to the 'official release' ROMs in every way.
People seem to think that the official releases are magically enhanced somehow. In reality, the 'leaked' ROM simply becomes the 'official release' a few weeks later with no changes whatsoever made to it.
If the XEU ROM was leaked I would put it on my phone, except it hasn't been. As I said I dont want any Frankenstein ROMS. I just find it weird there isn't even a leak of the a XEU ROM yet Vodafone and Three have released theirs on Kies.

Again, same question. Why not just flash the leaked 2.3.5 and use the XEU CSC?

You're missing the whole point, it is kind of odd that an official one hasn't dropped nor a leaked version either. I for one am waiting for the official too.

Yes I agree , the op is asking a question of why Kies has not released the rom for all phones. He is not asking about flashing. There are too many people that dont actually read.
My phone is unbranded and find this question interesting.
Waiting for official 2.3.5 on my xeu sgs2 as well. But im happy with the current 2.3.4 and not in a rush to get it
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I find it very strange as well that there isn't an official 2.3.5 firmware for unbranded XEU phones particularly when the vodafone and three customised firmwares would have been derived from a generic one.
I guess what makes it bearable is that 2.3.4 works perfectly for me and 2.3.5 doesn't add anything new apart from the blue overscroll glow which I'll rather not have.

It's not that I didn't read or understand the question, just that the question itself is very strange given that there's no logical reason to 'regret' getting the device when we have access to everything the OP wants already. There's no difference between 'official' ROMs or leaked ones other than the waiting time involved. In fact, the chances of the 'Official' Kies flash screwing up your phone are probably greater than they are with Odin.
The OP isn't only stating that it's odd that the 'Official' ROM hasn't been released via Kies, which I'd agree that it is a bit odd, but that he's beginning to regret purchasing the device because of this. I don't deny that reality, but I do think it's a trivial reason to regret such a fine device, particularly given the regularity with which leaked ROMs appear for the GSII compared to other devices. That's all I'm saying.
Some people like to use the official route I.E. Kies or at least use the ROM specific to their location. Sadly some others just cannot accept this. I have given up asking about officially released through Kies roms a long time ago because inevitably there will be a post immediately suggesting flashing. If I wanted that info I would ask for it.
You may wish to plug your phone in tonight.
I just did this to be told that the 2.3.5 update is ready and waiting for download (which I will do tomorrow when I have charged my phone)
My phone is an unbranded UK one
Can you tell us which version of update is available. I would have to flash back to stock, but don't want to if its not the official 2.3.5 KJ2 for XEU devices.

The point to this is that it's unprecedented and curious that branded phones will have firmware updates so far ahead of unbranded ones, however I agree it's a strange reason to regret buying the phone considering there's very little between both fw versions.

Personally I prefer to have stock (rooted of course) I usually check out n try the leaked versions though n have to say that imho there are subtle differences.. Like the second or so you see the home screen before the lock screen.. Official wxki4 doesn't have this for me where as the leaked versions I tried before release did

I too dont understand where 2.3.5 XEU is....
Ive seen quite a few 2.3.5 versions appear over past weeks, but no XEU.
I agree that it is very strange for some uk networks to release 2.3.5 via kies before we have a leaked version.
Maybe ICS is coming sooner than we thought, so no need for 2.3.5 ... Lol
XEU is usually one of the 1st leaks available, so it is strange.

The Kies servers can only handle so much at a time. UK (o2) and UK (T-Mobile) haven't even had the 2.3.4 upgrade yet. I think these users would be a bit miffed if we UK (unbranded) owners got yet another upgrade via Kies (2.3.5) before they even got the older 2.3.4 we have enjoyed for several weeks now.

The latest Samsung build I tried was KI4; excellent firmware and is leaps and bounds above the Bell firmware in every aspect. There are newer 2.3.5 builds, but I'm not on a Samsung based ROM currently.
Bell Canuck thread.
Firmware thread.
Search Original Android Dev for the latest/greatest firmware; it changes rapidly.
I wouldn't worry about updating your firmware via Kies if you're on Bell; you may NEVER see an update.
thanks for your fast reply guys !
but I dont understand why everyone tell (you must check your cell version like KG2 ,KG3 etc.. and its must be the same) and you guys running very different think as we should in North america ? like some guys running poland version ?
if I download the same version as your will it fit with my phone since I just posted all the infos of my phone right here ?

Read and research some more until you're comfortable. You only have to worry about matching kernel to firmware if you're doing a simple root, and retaining your current firmware. I've run 3 or 4 of the XXK_ _ firmwares, which are all Euro specific. No issues whatsoever.
Bell would likely tell you to pound sand if you tried to get warranty work done however, despite the fact you would have an official Samsung firmware (but not Bell's firmware).
When/if you flash a non-Bell firmware follow the instructions in the thread I linked to the letter, and yes, PDA is all you need, it has CSC, kernel, etc... in it.
You can then track down a CF-Root kernel for that firmware.

USA I9300 Jelly bean Update

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone has gotten their update yet? I've heard that the american S3's on Sprint are getting their update already... I am on the international S3 and still nothing... that kind of sucks considering the fact that the international ones are supposed to have the upgrade earlier. What about you guys?

Got the update. Not sure if update for your CSC is out yet. Should be out very soon though.
Why are you even waiting? Haven`t you learned anything from reading these forums?
Pick an official ROM you want from samsung-updates.com, download Odin3 and flash it.
This will NOT wipe your phone, it will NOT void your warranty, it WILL make you not wait anymore

There will never be a specific US region update for the International GS3. The same was true for the International GS2. You'll have to download another country's ROM if you want to update. It doesn't matter. Just set it to U.S. English and that's it. I'm on AT&T and the ROM's CSC code doesn't matter either. I recommend the latest UK unbranded ROM build XXDLJ4. There are plenty of ROMs on this forum based on this build.
So what you're saying is that the upgrade OTA is determined by the current region of the rom? i.e. where I purchased the device?
I'm in San Francisco now but I bought my device in the Netherlands.
Can I just upgrade to the UK unbranded without a problem? What about US features like installing Google Wallet etc.
Thanks.
Dude just download the faryraab stock official and inside the package is Odin
Its so super easy. I have an American purchased 9300 that was originally a Brazilian firmware. Now I am always on uk btu mainly because its the latest and greatest.
Go to the general section and look for the latest official and its right there. No need to wipe or anything
